We hope you’re hungry for more, because the Lumpia legend continues. Kid Heroes Productions is returning to WonderCon Anaheim in 2026 with more from the “Lumpia Deep Fried Universe”, bringing the indie action-comedy franchise back to Small Press #SP-67.
Throughout the weekend, fans can expect new “Lumpia Deep Fried Universe” releases, collaborative projects, signings, and a panel.
[UPDATE March 19]
Kid Heroes Productions is teaming up with Apl.de.Ap of the Black Eyed Peas for a special WonderCon debut celebrating the 20th anniversary of “Bebot,” a track that’s found new life thanks to this year’s viral “Filipina baddie” trend. The Bebot 1.5″ enamel pin, designed by LeRoid David, lets fans wear that energy loud and proud, featuring a soft enamel finish with black plating. It’s limited to 100 pieces and available for $15 at #SP-67 in Small Press.
They’re also bringing a bold new comic release to the show with Anito: Book of Entropy #1, which imagines Filipino mythology through a dynamic, modern lens. Created by Benjamin DeGuzman and Jackie Marzan, the issue will have two WonderCon-exclusive variants: an acetate cover limited to 50 copies for $30, and an embossed metal edition limited to 20 for $60.
The series will also be spotlighted during the panel “Filipino Mythologies of Future Past” on Sunday, March 29 at 11am in Room 207, where a lineup of creators including Benjamin DeGuzman (Anito: Book of Entropy), Ebony Soy (Maloles: The Reckoning), Joe Arciaga (DK New Icons), Earl Baylon (Doug Marcaida’s Lineage), and Herbert De Leon (Alamat) will explore new interpretations of myth, heroism, and storytelling. And, of course, they’re serving up a free print giveaway available for attendees.
